Steve Irwin

In the Shocking but Not Surprising News department, 44-year-old Steve "The Psycho" Irwin is dead. The man was borerline nuts and if you've ever seen his shows, you'll agree. He died after supposedly cornering a stingray which skewered him through the heart.

Most tragic. And stupid. He's a father of two and should have been taking more care than when he was a wild and crazy young man. My heart goes out to his children (one of whom he's dangling while feeding Crocky to the left) and his wife (who should have corralled that stallion ages ago).

More information here, if you're into that type of thing.
*Update: Mr Irwin apparently didn't corner the stingray.
